Isn't kendo practiced bare foot?

There's a woman I know who has a pair. She wears them for walking exercise. She says they're a little heavier than regular sneakers and feel like they're filled with sand or something that shifts around a bit. A little weird but she's still using them. Also, mucho expensive.

Personally, I'm not sure I understand the idea. I think they're supposed to mimic a more natural motion but how can it be natural? Natural would be close to barefoot, no? I can understand the concept of the new running shoes that keep you on your forefoot and not using your heels but I'm not sure I understand these new walking shoes . . .

What I mean is, since MBT supposedly improves posture, builds leg strength, and etc, has kendo people found those improvements helpful.

Or is the shoes all hype?

Given my problems with my left leg (tendonitis, pulled calf muscle) - I'd give these a try and see if they help. Looks like they would tend to stretch the calf and achilles better than regular shoes. If I do, I'll let everyone know how it worked out.
